Alisa Dmitrijeva's remains were spotted by a dog walker in woods on farmland near Anmer, about a mile from the main gate to Sandringham House.

Following forensic tests, police identified the victim, who went missing from her home in August.

Alisa's family said they were "devastated" at the news.

Detective Chief Inspector Jes Fry, senior investigating officer in the case, said: "Family Liaison Officers have been sent to meet with close family this morning to provide the update.

"I shall now be liaising with officers from Cambridgeshire who have been working on trying to locate Alisa in recent months as a missing person. The information they provide will give me and the team an extra focus to the inquiry.
